I been working on a couple of editors, IMy favorite one is i diesgend a WYSWYG blog editor for Gemini to make it even more easier for me, though i will do a few more final touches, and then I will find a place to post the code, I am new to python programing, so be gentle with the comments when i post it LOL.

Interesting. Show us later

I will post or try to post it on my spacehey page blog

Over decades I've run into many situations where the editor is the limiting factor because either I need an embedded editor and everything is too big and/or stupid, or I need some special capability (structured editing etc) where it is impossible to integrate into an existing editor (or even to understand where to begin).

I think I will write a little editor as a background project. It will not be in Zig, Rust, or Golang, thank you, and most definitely _not_ Python!

i hate bloa t ware in commerical projects, but bloat in open source projects are even worse, people want to add their personal things, and you end up with an over complicated thing no one ever uses. or few people use , or if you use it you cant find it now, its burried in a hundre dof other special add ons.

here is my link to my spacehey page, if you dont want to get a spacehey page i think i will se if can use telegra.ph, https://blog.spacehey.com/entry?id=1590262

Here is my experiment, I an a newbie be gentle, here it is, my Gemini blog editor, incomplete but works, => https://telegra.ph/My-Gemini-Editor-05-09

So true. I wish people would consider building projects in layers, so you could reuse a basic version of an editor and customize it. There are so many generic components that you have to write from scratch... Even small projects like kilo by antirez wind up too convoluted and golfing to minimize line count actually hurts.

that is kind of how i write code and learn code, cookbook style, in layers, this code does this, i will change this, This sequence of code snippers work well in this program I like this program, I can use this code to make a more customozed version, I write books and essays, and research projects the same way i call it DAGWOOD SANDWHICHING
